Abstract: In the design of sliding seals, uniform loading is often assumed in order to calculate leakage, pressure, and surface temperature. Previous theoretical and experimental evidence has shown that ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the results of a series of experiments to measure the pressure and temperature distribution between a pair of elastohydrodynamically lubricated (EHD) disks. Three lubricants ...

Abstract: A technique for estimating the piston ring film thickness by measuring the ring end gap has been developed. This paper discusses the details of the measurement technique, presents the results ...
